  • Entries withdrawn will not be refunded.
  • Entries invoiced in advance of submission will not be refunded if the pre-advised quantity is not fulfilled.
  • All entry materials will be retained by Communicate magazine, the organiser of the Corporate & Financial Awards. Please do not send us materials for which you do not have a duplicate of, as we will not return entered materials.

  • Please make reference to confidential information in your entries; these will be for judges’ eyes only and will not be written-up.

  • All entries are only shared with judges once a signed disclaimer has been received and all materials are destroyed after the judging process.
  • When a juror’s organisation enters the Corporate & Financial Awards, that juror will not review the submission. Where possible, jurors are not made aware of the identity of any third-party organisation that carried out the work until after decisions have been made, to eliminate bias.
  • Details provided within your entry will potentially be used for press releases, web content, and the winners book should your submission be shortlisted and/or win. Therefore, we ask that you ensure all the details are factually correct - we will not be liable for inaccuracies published based on the entry content and changes may not be possible after publication.
  • By submitting your entry, you agree that the materials may be published for the promotion of the awards and media efforts related to digital communication, as well as for the marketing and promotion of rebranding case studies and teaching tools.
  • All winning entries will be included in the Corporate & Financial Awards winners book which will be given out on the night and published on the website.
  • By entering into the Awards programme, your details will be added to our database to ensure you are kept up to date with the awards and its associated conference.
